The human soul has sojourned in lower and higher forms, migrating from one to another according to the samskaras or impressions, but it is only in the highest form as a human being that it attains to freedom.
Swami VivekanandaMy Master used to say, when a pitcher is being filled (by immersion), it gurgles, but when full, it is noiseless.
Swami VivekanandaEverything that we know is within our universe, and everything within our universe is moulded by the conditions of space, time, and causation.
Swami VivekanandaAll that is real in me is God; all that is real in God is I. The gulf between God and me is thus bridged. Thus by knowing God, we find that the kingdom of heaven is within us.
Swami Vivekananda
